According to the World Book Encyclopedia, Halloween means
"a holy evening" because it takes place the day before "All
Saints' Day."

Many superstitions and symbols are connected with
Halloween. Long before the advent of Christianity In Europe, the belief in
witches, sorcerers and magic was widespread. A worship of fertility was the
main object of these early religious and mystical practices.

From about 1500 B.C., the much feared Druids were in power
In Western Europe. This was a sect of priests, both male and female. Their
cruelty and barbarity in the kind of magic they practiced far outweighed their
scholarship. People were used as sacrifices and were flogged, tortured, and
sexually molested before they were killed by having their hearts torn out
while they were still alive. Their sexual organs were cut off and conserved to
be used in black masses. Sometimes they were skinned, and the skin was used in
different rites.

The Druids taught that on Halloween ghosts, spirits,
fairies, witches and elves came out to harm people. From this terrible satanic
religion comes the use of witches, ghosts, and cats In today's celebration of
Halloween.

The Druids had an autumn festival called "Samhain,"
which marked the end of summer. It was a fertility festival thanking the
spirits (demons) for the crops of that year. During the night, black masses
were conducted. The custom of using leaves, pumpkins, and cornstalks as
Halloween decorations comes from this Druid festival.

In 700 A.D. The Roman Catholic Church made November 1,
"All Saints' Day" and the old pagan customs and the Christian feast
day were combined into the Halloween festival because the people refused to
leave the old customs.

ATTACK FROM THE OCCULT

A 16 year old qirl was taken to a Sacramento Hospital in 1988 where she was
treated for severe mental disturbance. She formerly was able to paint beautiful
oil paintings of nature and animals, but now all she could paint were hideous
winged demons that drank blood from chalices and wore earrings of upside down
crucifixes (the sign of the Antichrist). This Information was released by her
mother to the Roseville Tribune In order to warn other parents and children as
to what can happen to a child (or adult) who plays with the occult. This girl
had undergone treatment In the hospital for almost one year, yet there was no
sign of recovery.

As a freshman, the girl was an honor student at Placer High School In Auburn
and did not seem to have any friends who were Into the occult. Her mother
discovered the dark side In her daughter's character one night when, for no
reason, she pulled out a knife and said that she was going to kill her mother.

In the discussion that followed, the daughter admitted to the regular taking
of drugs, but none by Injection. The girl developed a taste for funeral type
music. As the girl's mind began to further deteriorate, she would spit at her
mother, hiss, roll her eyes and chant In Latin. Upon searching her room, the
mother found the Satanic bible, ritualistic black candles, bells, a ouija board,
and drug paraphernalia under the daughter's bed.

The girl boasted of weird, perverted sex acts with members of the coven. They
needed the energy flow to meet the "Master," but she wouldn't say who
they were or where they met. The mother also said that recently her six year old
daughter had told her that the older daughter had used knives to sacrifice cats
and dogs on the kitchen floor. (The mother is a single parent and works outside
the home). The older girl had also confided to a relative that she would
consider sacrificing a small child as part of a Satanic ritual – even her own
sister, "because she has no personality; she is not old enough."

The older girl began reading at the age of 2 and started by reading her
mother's Steven King books. She also once told her mother that there are only
three ways out of devil worship; suicide, being killed by another devil
worshiper or becoming insane.

It Is so sad that the mother of this mentally sick girl does not know Jesus and
His Power to set someone free from demon possession, which is what has happened
to this very unhappy 16 year old girl. The tragedy is that she is not alone.
Every Halloween thousands of young children are introduced to the
occult by their parents, church, school and others.

Dozen may be linked to gay cult, ritual murder near Bay

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – More than a dozen people may be linked to a homosexual
satanic cult believed responsible for the mutilation murder of a transient,
police said Tuesday.

"We've been told all along that this is not just a couple of
people," said homicide Inspector
Earl Sanders. "We have a lot of names. We've got more than a dozen
names."

The Investigation resulted In the arrest of 45-year-old Clifford St. Joseph,
who was booked two weeks ago for investigation of murder, sodomy and false
Imprisonment In connection with the slaying.

The nude body of the unidentified man was found on June 15, 1985, stuffed
under a truck parked downtown. Sanders said the man was bled to death and that
he was butchered In ritualistic fashion In a devil-worship ceremony. Sanders
said a pentagram, a prop used In black masses, was carved In the chest of the
victim, who was probably a homeless drifter. The Investigation Is continuing,
but Sanders said the information received from witnesses points to an
"association of Individuals" who are tied to a satanic cult.

"We know it's satanic, and most of the people we've run into are gay
males," he said. "We have run Into some people who are of substantial
means."

Sanders declined to Identify other suspects or elaborate on the probe. He
said the department has received telephone calls from the public In connection
with the case. Other killings that may be connected to the case are being
checked, he said.

PARENTS,
KNOW THIS:

More and more children are becoming demon oppressed, and the youth are
leaving the churches by the thousands, turning to drugs, rock music and the
occult. The Rock music is now totally in the hands of Satan worshippers who are
openly offering Satan to the youth. Back masking on records is now a fact.

Freemasons are luring our young men into the occult. Occult schools,
like the Waldorf Schools, are flourishing, and the list can go on. Where does it
start? It starts when the parents are lax and allow their children to partake of
the sins and idol worship of the world and think nothing of it.

Christians and Christian
churches who celebrate and participate in the Halloween festival are flirting
with demons and opening themselves to satanic
oppression and the WRATH OF GOD. Any church which allows Halloween to be
celebrated in church is selling out to the Devil and opening itself up for
demonic destruction.

DEMON POSSESSION IS ON THE RISE

On Friday the 13th 1984, Henry Lee Lucus was convicted by a court in Georgetown,
Texas for a
Halloween murder.
Lucas openly boasted to the authorities, that he had
murdered some 360 people and that he belonged to a nationwide organization called "The Hands of Death".

In July 1984 Richard Kasso hanged himself in a jail cell in Riverhead, N.Y.
He had been arrested that day for a ritual murder of a teenager, by gouging out
the eyes and then stabbing him to death. Kasso belonged to a Satanic group
called "Knights of the Black Circle."

Firefighters summoned to a blaze at an occult shop in Hollywood during the
month of July, 1984 discovered six human babies who had been preserved and two
human skeletons, which had been used in Satanic worship.

On September 3, 1985 Ricardo
Ramirez was arrested in Los Angeles on murder charges of some 15 people. The
police investigation has confirmed that Ramirez was a Satan worshiper, and that
his murder victims had not only been raped, but murdered according to ritual
proceedings. Pentagrams and other satanic symbols had been left behind at the
murder scenes. Ramirez was also heavy into rock music and his favorite group was
AC/DC, a group known for being satanic, and singing lyrics about rape and
murder.
